It was 20 years ago today (and yesterday) :: Billy Boyd hits the awards circuit to accept the People's Choice Award for Favourite Dramatic Motion Picture for The Two Towers (as these awards celebrated pop culture in 2003, and ROTK was not eligible at the time of voting) on 11 January 2004. The evening before, Billy also attended the Critics Choice Awards gala to accept the award for Best Picture for The Return of the King. The film also won Best Director, Best Acting Ensemble, and Best Composer at the CCAs.

A Nostalgic Look at Eowyn's Costumes in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

Happy 20th Anniversary to the Two Towers movie! Finally time to talk about the beautiful costumes they made for the White Lady of Rohan.

This is the dress she is wearing when we first meet her in Edoras. Its darker color matches the rest of the interior during this dark time for her people. She wears it to walk away from Grima and to confront her uncle about his son's fate.

Best feature: The skirt configuration. It's pretty unique and could be representative of her own hidden layers.

Practicality: 8/10 She looks great sweeping around in this but it is somewhat limiting. Wearing it while she kneels before Theoden cannot be good for it, you know?

The iconic white dress - maybe just because it was in all the promotional material, but this is what I always think of her wearing. She wears it while mourning her cousin, fleeing Grima, and then witnessing Theoden return to himself. It stands out in a way the previous one did not and white is a good color for a new beginning.

Best feature: The gold details - the belt, the neckline, the ties on the sleeves. They add a lot to an otherwise fairly simple dress and make it a warm color (which differentiates it from Galadriel's white gown).

Practicality: 8/10 Probably about the same as the previous dress. It has more manageable sleeves but a longer train. Still, she obviously can move around in it just fine.

We don't get to see a whole lot of this one, mainly the color. She wears it to Theodred's funeral and then while Aragorn tries to convince Theoden to go to war. It looks more severe than her other dresses, which makes sense for both situations. The color is similar to her first dress and it seems to be black for morning. This is also the only time we see her hair up all of the way, and the intricate up-do is distinct from the other hairstyles (especially Elvish ones) that we see.

Best feature: The circlet looks very nice and matches the rest. I wish I could see more of what this one looks like, but even the wide shots do not show much. It retains her main color being gold, though, which is great.

Practicality: 8/10 Hard to say, so I'm going to put it in the same category as the other ones.

She wears this dress to pack up Edoras and to travel to Helm's Deep. It has a clear under- and over-dress. The colors are earthy, which differentiate her from Arwen (we mainly see her talking to Aragorn in it). It also looks more practical and foreshadows how she is different from other ladies we meet.

Best feature: I like how she can tie up her sleeves, but otherwise this is not one of my favorites (unfortunate that the action figure wore this!)

Practicality: 10/10 I can't see the skirt, but it does not seem to get in the way at all. It's a very serviceable work dress, unlike her other gowns.

While they travel to helm's Deep, she wears this overdress. It may (?) be over the previous dress but it's hard to tell. The underdress looks similar but does not seem to be the same color? Anyway, it looks very comfortable and good for riding and walking a long way.

Best feature: The neckline. The fur makes it pop as well as the brooch. I do wish the rest had more color.

Practicality: 9/10 Perhaps slightly less practical than the previous dress, but it is still obviously meant for traveling. The sleeves just may get in the way.

We barely see this one, but it is her victory dress (after Helm's Deep). It is sort of a warmer version of her earlier white dress, reflecting how she now has more hope than when we met her in TTT.

Best feature: The bodice. It looks really cool (though not much on screen).

Practicality: 7/10 Back to gowns, so not the most practical. This one also is very light and shimmery, and does not seem as sturdy as her earlier ones. (I do like it better than those, though)

She wears this to sleep and it appears that the gown underneath it is the same color, but with more detail. We obviously don't see too much of it, but it looks lovely and soft, which makes sense for the gentle scene that takes place while she wears it.

Best feature: The sleeves. I would love a robe like that. Or a nightgown like that.

Practicality: 10/10 It's for sleeping and that's what she's doing. It looks warm - she doesn't need a blanket. As well as being comfortable. No scratchy details like the other gowns.

Interestingly, most of the promotional material had a white skirt for this dress. But the skirt is brown in the movie. With white, it seems like an updated version of her Two Towers dress. Here, it seems like a mix between her work dress and her more vulnerable white dress. It's the dark night of the soul for her in this dress, so the white touches add to that idea amid the dark, more structured rest of the garment.

Best feature: The bodice. I love it, it's quite beautiful and flattering. Wish I had more outfits with a bodice like that.

Practicality: 9/10 The sleeves are extremely long, but otherwise it seems to be quite a useful dress for being in the camp and helping with things.

This is her suit of armor for when she disguises herself as Dernhelm. It looks much like the other soldiers' and does not set her apart (for either her rank or her gender). Which is of course her goal.

Best feature: The practicality, honestly. It is armor, after all.

Practicality: 10/10 It's perfect, no notes.

(I skipped her Houses of Healing dresses because there aren't any good shots of those, but I do have strong feelings about them if you want to watch this video). Anyway, this is the gorgeous dress she wears to Aragorn's coronation. It takes inspiration from her iconic white dress but is a warm and happy yellow instead to imply she's no longer miserable.

Best feature: The cape. The sleeves. Just all of it, really. It's a wonderful gown, perfect for the occasion.

Practicality: 8/10 Not very practical, perhaps, but very lovely (and seems to be warm, which is nice in the cold stone city).

The elves of middle earth having the same “call your dad when you don’t know how to fix a problem” instinct but because they live forever it’s like

Some elf starts experiencing the elven equivalent of car trouble (idk, horse won’t go?) and calls his dad, and then his dad can’t figure it out so he calls HIS dad and so on and so forth until you’ve got this guys entire lineage all huddled together in elven cargo shorts trying to solve a dented horseshoe

Eowyn in Lord of the Rings: Unpacking a Feminist Icon

Happy 20th Anniversary to the first appearance of my favorite character – Eowyn in the Two Towers. Let’s talk about whether Eowyn is a feminist icon, a result of sexism, or perhaps both.
